Wellington duo Black City Lights deal in a dark, uplifting brand of synth pop – along the lines of what you’d expect Light Asylum or Zola Jesus. Singer Julia Catherine Parr navigates her formidable vocal talents with an emboldened scope throughout Give It Up, the first taste from debut album Another Life. The frosty and spacious production work is understated in all the right places, but lifts when it needs to lift. Quality work.
